personally, i'm not even close to being sold on him. i remember watching him in college - and i never saw an NFL arm there. i'm sure he's gotten some great tutelage in green bay in his years there - but that doesn't mean the caterpillar became a butterfly in that time either. i'll take moore over flynn any day of the week - he doesn't cost a fortune and we already know he can play decent in a fins uni. plus we'll feel less retarded not giving a backup a cap crippling salary. we can do better. pass.

the thing that worries me about this thread is how many are already blindly trusting the new coach's opinion. haven't we been down this road before? in cam we trust ... in saban we trust ... in parcells we trust ... in sparano we trust ... i think it's about time to implement the 'in my own damn opinion i trust', don't ya think? :idk:

manning, on the other hand, is like a fugging wet dream with virgins sprinkled on top. you've got to like our chances there considering what the other teams have to offer in terms of a super bowl run in the next 2 seasons. the jets scare me though ...
 
How can you be when you have not seen him play in more than 1 game? I know he has played in more than the one but who was watching the others? Philbin is the only one on our side who knows for sure.:rolleyes:
 
Matt Flynn blows, that one game he had was a fluke.

Imagine a defense that knows the QB can't throw deep, stack the box so they can't run the ball and just play man defense. Luckily for Flynn he had the best WR corp in the league to throw to CASE CLOSED!!!!
 
I don't think the Packers have the best WRs unit in the league. Far from it. And I guess if the WRs unit means Flynn is overrated then Aaron Rodgers is also vastly overrated.

"Can't throw deep" is one of the more ridiculous things I've heard lately. Thanks for that.

the best wr on that roster and a top 10 nfl wr period in greg jennings didn't even suit up in that game against the lions...so he didn't have the top wr corp in the league that sunday...why does aaron rodgers get so much best qb in the league love but flynn is a product of the talent around him...sounds like garbage to me
 
In his two starts in 2010 and 2011, versus New England and versus Detroit...he was 5 of 11 beyond 20 yards down the field. That's an excellent percentage, one of the better percentages in the league.

I think Joe Philbin has a good idea what Flynn is good at and Flynn has a good feel for the game. With game plans tailored to him, I think he could be a pretty good player.
 
When Aaron Rodgers is in the game, he (Rodgers) makes the defense defend the pass which opens up their run and screen game.

When Matt Flynn is in the game the defense is daring him to beat them.

Are you honestly saying with the combination of the green bay offensive line and the WR/TE corp they have, Aaron Rodgers doesn't look like he does it with ease???
 
not to mention flynn made plays down the field against the lions in 30 degree temps and flurries...yeah he slightly underthrew one deep ball where nelson split the secondary players for the long td and yeah he had to reach behind him for the ball a little but flynn also had a face full of defensive pressure in his grill on that throw...

can't throw deep is garbage...hot garbage...
 
Matt Flynn versus Ryan Tannehill is the choice the Dolphins should be making at QB, not Peyton Manning versus the field.

You're in a unique situation where your coaches actually coached two of the five potential franchise QB availabilities this off season. And they didn't coach them five years ago, they coached them right up through the end of the 2011 season. Mike Sherman knows exactly what Ryan Tannehill is capable of, knows how to tailor successful game plans to his strengths and weaknesses, and knows what he shouldn't rely on him to do. Joe Philbin knows the same about Matt Flynn. If you're sticking with one of those two guys, you should have a much higher than normal chance of success.

And if I prefer Matt Flynn to Ryan Tannehill just a little bit, it's because Joe Philbin is our Head Coach, not Mike Sherman, and that's significant to me. They were both available and both were interviewing for head coach jobs, but we made the decision we wanted Philbin, not Sherman, because we didn't just want success and underachievement, we wanted success and championships, and Philbin was part of that championship Green Bay won in 2010. That choice to me is embodied in the decision between Matt Flynn and Ryan Tannehill. In Matt Flynn you have a guy that handled the pressure of being on a really good, really high expectation pro-style team run by Nick Saban at LSU, and Flynn won a NCAA Championship. He was the QB of that Championship team. In the NFL, he's backed up one of the best quarterbacks I've ever seen, and he was part of a Championship there as well. The things he showed at LSU, and the things he learned at Green Bay, those are desirable things that I want on my team. If Ryan Tannehill has a weakness that people go back to over and over I think it is that feel for the game and his lack of intangibles that comes from inexperience.

They're both GOOD options...but for that reason, that's why I'd go with Flynn over Tannehill. I'd probably go with Weeden over both.
 
it probably is more about flynn and tannehill...with sherman here one has to think tannehill is getting heavy consideration with our top 10 pick...

sucks that we couldn't see him at the senior bowl due to injury...then again maybe that helps keep him away from someone else in front of us if thats the route we're looking to go...

lots of upside and physical tools...but raw is the word
 
Two things we know about Flynn is that he knows how to execute a gameplan, which isn't the case for our Quarterbacks we've witnessed in the past decade save Pennington. We also saw in the NE and DET game that he completes the throws that he should. Most of his completions in both games were to receivers that were wide open and against less than desirable defenses. At the very least, he has a feel for the pro game, and with the right offensive gameplan, which Miami has now with Philbin and Sherman, he can be successful here.
 
Its laughable the majority of voters are sold on Flynn. I know Green Bay fans, that arent.. Im more than confident that they know more about Flynn than anyone one Finfan.

IMO Moore and Flynn are the same exact QB and Ill actually give a slight edge to Moore for obvious reasons.
 
We're in a fortunate position in that we've hired the HC who knows him best, so I will defer to, and be comfortable with whatever decision Joe makes.

And that's my rationalization. Otherwise there ain't no way I'd be buying into paying top $$ and investing valuable momentum in a 7th round pick from a college QB tree that's produced JaMarcus and Rohan Davey as their claims to fame and in the recent championship had a back up QB who was so terrible that they couldn't replace the starter who was stinking it up. Doesn't exactly instill confidence, nor does the anecdotal cautionary evidence of the Scott Mitchells, Kevin Kolbs and of course our own beloved clusterfork named AJ Feeley. Throw in a supposedly weaker than normal arm strength and it definitely invokes a "proceed with extreme caution" flag.

For years FH members have been proselytizing the wisdom of drafting a QB in the first round, posting so-called evidence that these QBs deliver a much greater probability of making it into the Super Bowl. Are they now throwing that out the window on the basis of a limited 2 game "audition" with one of the most prolific NFL offenses and against 2 of the most porous NFL defensive backfields?

It might be the single biggest reason the Redskins don't pounce all over him. If Tannehill were participating in the South practices and game as he was slated to, then the Skins would have fallen even more in love with him than they already are, and I personally believe they'd shake off these other temptations like with Peyton Manning or Robert Griffin. Tannehill's lack of participation in the Senior Bowl could end up the slight difference between the Redskins loving Ryan Tannehill, and the Redskins betting the farm on Ryan Tannehill.

And if that's the case, then his injury would be the only reason Tannehill is available for the Dolphins to take at #8 or #9.
